A philosophical framework holding that logic is always from a perspective—that what a logical system reveals depends on the theoretical commitments, metaphysical assumptions, and practical purposes from which it is developed. Logical perspectivism rejects the idea that there is one true logic that captures the structure of reasoning itself. Different logical systems (classical, intuitionistic, linear, modal, paraconsistent) offer different perspectives on reasoning, each illuminating aspects the others leave in shadow. Perspectivism doesn't make logic subjective; it recognizes that logical validity is always validity-from-a-perspective and that the richness of reasoning exceeds any single system. It demands that logicians be explicit about the perspective from which they work.
